ComBIT AFRICA: ATCON appoints AITEC Africa to develop ComBIT as continents apex ICT event

The Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) has appointed AITEC Africa, the continent’s leading organiser of ICT exhibitions and conferences, to manage its annual expo, ComBIT Africa, and develop it as the leading ICT event for the region. The next ComBIT will be held at Lagoon Conference Centre, Lagos, over 2-4 November.

Announcing AITEC’s appointment, Emmanuel Ekuwem, President of ATCON, said the association is determined to develop the event into the region’s top showcase for the computing and telecommunications industries. “AITEC was the natural choice as our partner in this endeavour as they have a solid track record of organising highly successful ICT events across Africa since 1990. Working with them, we will develop a world-class industry event that will do justice to Nigeria’s leadership role in the region’s rapidly developing ICT market.”

Sean Moroney, AITEC’s founder and Chairman, said that the company was proud to be given this vote of confidence by ATCON: “We are delighted to be working with ATCON to create an industry event that will have a major positive impact on the development of the market in Nigeria and throughout the region. In these times of financial cut-backs it’s vital for all private sector and government organisations make the right purchasing decisions. By creating a highly competitive market place through the expo with leading local and international suppliers represented, we will empower the region’s ICT professionals to make those effective decisions. In addition, we will save them the expense of travelling to international trade shows to keep abreast of latest developments in IT and telecoms technology – by bringing a wide range of international suppliers to Lagos so they can meet them on their doorstep.”
